Modern machines are now able to enter the village. Farmers have turned to more profitable crops, such as walnuts and pears, as transportation is no longer a problem.
Entrepreneurs have also been drawn to the village, which is now home to a feed mill and two date processing plants.
In 2017, Hao decided to return home. With his savings, he and a fellow villager built a mushroom processing factory.
"There is no place like home," he said.
The per capita net income of the village has doubled to over 8,000 yuan (1,274 U.S. dollars) from the 2017 level.
"The number of women marrying into our village every year has jumped 10 times," said Qiao.
"Better road facilities have linked us to prosperous lives," he said.
Over the past five years, the central government has earmarked 400 billion yuan and mobilized 1.6 trillion yuan of social investment in rural road construction.
A total of 1.27 million km of roads were built in the countryside during the period, bringing the total length of rural roads to 4 million km, according to government figures.
Transport Minister Li Xiaopeng said more efforts would be made to ensure asphalt road access to all qualified townships and villages by 2019 and to guarantee passenger transport services covering all qualified villages by 2020.
"Transportation should not stand in the way of ushering in a moderate prosperous society," Li said on the sidelines of the annual session of the national legislature last month.
